    That's awesome.

    Let's hope that Europe takes notice of that and takes a couple of Euro Cup finals out of the Usual Five Nations and expands the audience a bit.

    Looks like a really atmospheric ground for only 26,000 too.

    This year's Top 14 final will be played at the Nou Camp in Barcelona. All 98,000 tickets already sold, which makes it a record for a club game.

    That's fantastic. On a sad side note, it might be a good idea to take a few of the larger events out of France for the time-being.

    Have to admit, always thought the Euro Cup final should have been played at The Amsterdam Arena by now.

    There's no reason to go to Amsterdam - Barcelona is only a couple of hundred kms from the rugby heartland of southern France and it has the Catalans link (Perpignan has played games in Barcelona before, albeit at a smaller stadium).

    The Heineken Cup final was going to be played in Milan one year before it was replaced by the Champions Cup and moved to London.

    Yeah, the Amsterdam idea is that it would be great as an event town, and it's removed from the usual rugby sphere of influence; sort of an idea to take the game outside it's traditional markets. It would be a sell-out anyway.
